💡 Tips

Babonneau is lush and mountainous; expect winding roads and cooler, wetter weather than on the coast.
Use this as a good base for inland eco-adventures like the nearby aerial tram or zip-lining.
Public minibuses to Castries are reliable but can become very crowded during the morning commute.
Bring bug repellent, especially if you plan on hiking in the surrounding rainforests.
